<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3713156, member: 90666&quot;]Which Department of Commerce? Switzerland? Or in the bidder&#039;s country which might be Norway or Belgium or Canada (wherever NathanP is based). Or some third country that has international jurisdiction in the way that all Facebook issues in Europe are governed by Ireland. I suspect the great majority of ancient coin purchases are international. For me, probably 90%. Whatever one&#039;s issue, whether authenticity or bidding behaviour,&nbsp; my sense since I started discussing this re eBay 20 years ago, is that traditional trading standards organisations cannot cope with international commerce issues. Thats why we tend more and more to rely on arbitration run by platforms such as eBay itself. But when a company uses it&#039;s own platform,&nbsp; one is stuck unless one pays by credit card or similar. But I am not sure Visa or Amex will be interested in assertions about being over charged due to shill bidding. At best they may cancel the transaction at which point you still have to deal with a Swiss seller saying &quot;pay me&quot;. It gets very messy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
